Chapter 238 Preparations
"Wushuang-kun, you are such a little rascal!"

This small court meeting lasted for several hours. When it ended, the sun had already set in the western sky. With the naked eye, it was only a few feet away from the rolling mountains in the west.

creak!

The palace door, which had been closed for several hours, slowly opened with a harsh sound. Tianxuan, Wang Jian, Wei Liao, Wang Wan and others walked out of the study room belonging to Zheng Ge with heavy steps. Everyone, regardless of their level of cultivation, had a look of exhaustion from the bottom of their hearts on their faces. After walking a few steps, a slap suddenly hit Tianxuan on the shoulder.

Tianxuan turned around and saw Wang Jian's face covered with snow-white hair and beard.

Tian Xuan looked helpless: "Marquis Wucheng, you can't blame me! It was really His Majesty's order, and it's too important. You have a strong foundation with Lord Guowei and General Mengwu, so maybe you can withstand the storm. With my foundation in the imperial court, if I get involved, I'm afraid I won't even know how I died!"

"You little brat, you have some self-awareness." Wei Liao made this comment as he walked past Tianxuan.

"Lord Wushuang, the king has given you 10,000 soldiers and asked you to recruit as many people as you want and open up the trade route to the Western Regions. How confident are you?"

Han Fei, who had quarreled with Tianxuan in front of Zheng Ge not long ago, completely forgot the unpleasantness just now. Seeing Tianxuan being detained by Wang Jian, his eyes fell on him and asked with concern.

"Do your best and obey fate!"

Although opening up the Silk Road is simpler than modifying the military merit system, it is still a heavy burden. All Tianxuan can do is to recruit as many forces as possible and do his best.

"Brother Tian, ​​hey!"

Prince Fusu came to Tianxuan and wanted to comfort him, but the words were already in his mouth and he didn't know how to say them. In the end, he could only sigh.

"Mo Ya, help me contact Widow Qing and Wu Shi Luo. I want to meet them within a month."

When Tianxuan stepped out of the palace, the palace gate was sparsely populated. Tianxuan's expression was slightly condensed and he shouted.

"Tell the spies who have infiltrated the farmers' house to arrange a meeting for me with Zhu Jia, the head of Shennong Hall."

"Here."

Tianxuan, who was unwilling to get involved in the two muddy issues of amending Qin law and abolishing the military merit system, found himself the task of opening up the Silk Road. Tianxuan was not sure whether he could do it well. However, since he had volunteered, he had to do his best.

Although the farmers have been deteriorating due to the influx of the Tian clan, they are still the best in the world in terms of farm tools, farming, and crop cultivation. Widow Qing and Wu Shiluo are both big merchants with business networks all over the seven kingdoms. There are also their caravans in the Western Regions. If we borrow one or two of them, we can get twice the result with half the effort.

The black crow, who was hiding in the dark, heard Tianxuan's order and appeared like a ghost, came behind Tianxuan and took the task. Before he finished singing, this master of night owl with superb light skills had disappeared into the falling night.

………………

At night, Tianxuan Temple.

As the unrivaled lord personally appointed by De Zheng, Tian Xuan kept his promise after returning to his mansion and ordered his servants to prepare good wine and food.

Soon, Li Xin, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, Zhang Han and other young and energetic generals came upon invitation. The fine wine that had been sealed for decades, and the dishes made from flying, running and swimming creatures in the sky, made these heroic generals very happy.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the night mist gradually became thicker. Looking at it intently, it seemed as if there were terrifying ghosts hidden in the night mist. The generals had eaten and drunk their fill and left one after another. Crackling!

A life-sized candle lit up, emitting a dazzling luster. Tianxuan ordered people to place several mirrors at different angles in the room. The clear mirrors reflected the candlelight, making the best use of it, illuminating the Xuanyuan Hall. There was also a little rainbow light lingering on the statues of Hongjun Daozu and the Three Pure Ones, making the clay sculptures look particularly majestic.

There were only Tianxuan, Yanfei, Yueshen, Dasiming, Shaosiming, four of his ambiguous objects, and Zinu and Nongyu, two women who Tianxuan regarded as substitutes for another time traveler. Although there was one man and six women in the hall, no one spoke for a long time, making the atmosphere in the hall extremely tense and enough to make people collapse.

After an unknown amount of time, the candle flame, which was as bright as blood and carved with gorgeous patterns, burst, and a little smoke escaped, which was extremely pungent. The girls, who were naturally clean, smelled the unpleasant smell in the air, and their pretty faces showed sincere disgust, and they all covered their smooth and white noses at the same time.

"Your Majesty asked me to open up the trade route to the Western Regions. The places I conquer are the fiefs that Your Majesty gave me."

At the banquet, Tianxuan and his generals toasted each other, reeking of alcohol. After the banquet, Tianxuan went to bathe and change clothes. Wearing a slim black robe that fitted his body, Tianxuan's face was no longer childish. After the candle flame burst, his lips moved and he spoke meaningfully.

"This is not a simple matter. Ladies and gentlemen, let's get straight to the point."

"To be honest, the reason I kept you by my side was purely because I coveted your beauty!"

Yan Fei, who was elegant and generous, just like the holy and noble sun goddess Xihe, rolled her eyes at Tian Xuan in displeasure: "Your tricks are so cunning that even a three-year-old child can see through them."

"Your Majesty," Zi Nu changed her address to Tian Xuan from 'Sir' to 'Your Majesty', and looked at Tian Xuan with her beautiful eyes filled with sparkling water light, which seemed to contain endless emotions, "This is not the first time you have told us that you are a lustful person. But, if you have the guts, come at us with real swords and guns, instead of just a verbal battle!"

The Moon Goddess said seriously: "As long as you nod, I will eat you tonight!"

'Eat me?'

Hearing Moon Goddess say this, Tianxuan was startled, and these five words kept echoing in his mind.

Brush and pull!

After the shock, Tianxuan looked around at the six girls. Facing his gaze, none of them dodged, and their beautiful eyes were full of domineering. At that moment, Tianxuan felt like a little sheep being stared at by a group of hungry wolves.

“Ahem.” Tian Xuan knew that these women were so fierce that if they got angry, they would probably eat him up. He looked away awkwardly and said in defense, “The innate qi I cultivate cannot be broken before I turn eighteen. Otherwise, I would have eaten you all!”

"Eighteen?"

Although Yan Fei didn't know whether what Tian Xuan said was true or not, she still kept this number in mind.

"Okay, I'll wait! When you turn eighteen, I'll definitely come find you!"

The Moon Goddess cast a provocative look at Yan Fei, "Sister, it's still uncertain who will get to eat this fruit! My dear husband, I plan to go to the Western Regions with you to open up trade routes. You won't refuse, right?"

At the end of the day, even though the Moon Goddess' beautiful eyes, which contained the clear moonlight, were covered by a thin line of eye shadow, there was still endless luster in her eyes, and she actually had a bit of pitiful charm.
